    Cheating Classmates

    beachynurse replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    First of all, I hate to be the English teacher, I am sorry for being critical, but your post was very hard to read with no punctuation to define sentences, and there was no paragraph structure....

    Potential BSN - background

    beachynurse replied to Samanthaaaaa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My best advice is to call your state board and talk to someone there, or even better, contact an attorney who specializes in defending Nurses. Maybe you can find one that gives free

    I'm 55 - Is it too late to become a nurse?

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Start looking at local nursing schools and see what their requirements for admission are. See if you can take any of the prerequisite classes at a community college to save money. When you take...

    When Delegation is Unsuccessful

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a hard time understanding why you would ask 6 people to follow up on the labs. Doesn't the patient have a nurse 24/7? The nurse that has the patient for the shift the labs come in is...

    beachynurse replied to merrisooc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Part-time School Nursing?

    beachynurse replied to SmallStateSchoolNurse's topic in School

    Our division used to hire nurses to job share and let them work out a schedule that would give them equal hours. But two nurses couldn't get along with making a schedule and ruined it for anyone else....

    What School Nurses REALLY Do?

    beachynurse replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I also don't recommend school nursing for new grads. As a permanent part timer you would still be working alone. At least in my large school division with 82 schools. You would be splitting the job...

    How some kids are being raised...

    beachynurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I taught at the Community College level and I couldn't believe the lack of responsibility that was in my younger students. A month after my class ends, I get a phone call from a student, "I forgot to...

    beachynurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I'm in a high school and get the same questions! We have 2 rooms in the clinic, 1 waiting room for the students to wait for parents in, and the other is a screening room/ Nursing room for staff. The...

    Breaking FERPA? I feel Dumb

    beachynurse replied to Avill's topic in School

    She should be the one to update you. If the student isn't in school he could very well be in a psych hospital, and she should let you know that. I work in a high school with our own Psychologist, and...

    Where to Draw the Line...?

    beachynurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    My school division is non-union, and I don't get phone calls on my off time unless it is a dire emergency. But then again, I have set boundaries with staff, and parents. If I receive a call it will be...

    Student Burned At School

    beachynurse replied to Googlenurse's topic in School

    I totally agree. I give care first. I look at it as this way I can give the parent the whole picture, what the burn looked like, what I did to take care of it. 1 phone call to wrap it up, and the...

    Looking for advice

    beachynurse replied to Heavenlee75's topic in School

    I've been a school nurse for 18 years, and can't imagine doing anything else. I took a hefty pay cut, but if I had to do it over again I would make the same

    How to handle difficult co workers when you're the new kid on the block?

    beachynurse replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I simply don't understand this kind of behavior in what are supposed to be professionals. We should all be striving for the same goals, the well being of our patients. In doing that it takes nurses...

    Have I been fired from new day surgery job?

    beachynurse replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

    Asking for feedback never makes you look desperate. It makes you look like you are concerned about your nursing skills, your career, and the safety of your patients. In nursing it is not about us, it...

    Have I been fired from new day surgery job?

    beachynurse replied to halsey's topic in General Nursing

    When you spoke to the manager, did you ask for specific examples, or did you wait for the manager to offer them to you? I would probably ask for a meeting with the manager and ask for specific...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    beachynurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know what that woman was going through, but it sounds like she had reached her breaking point. So while you may deem it inappropriate, I would deem it more of a breakdown. Having empathy for...

    beachynurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I feel so sorry for you. Someday, you may be in the same position, and need someone to talk to. However, Karma is a funny thing. When you need someone, they may treat you as you have treated others....

    Cheating Classmates

    beachynurse replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    This both saddens, and angers me. What kind of nurses are they going to be? The lack of respect towards their instructors is appalling. I wouldn't dream of being so disrespectful towards my...

    Answering Max Number of Questions on NCLEX

    beachynurse replied to Rose Smith's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm so sorry, but when I read this and see that the max number of questions today is 140, all I can do is sit and laugh. What would the anxiety levels be if today's nurses had to take the NCLEX of...

    Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    beachynurse replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I was a manager in a home care agency making extremely good money, with bonuses. However, we had a toxic work environment and a boss that was verbally abusive to all of us on our level (directly under...
